Retreat

There is a beautiful quote by Mother Theresa
" To keep a lamp burning you have to keep putting oil in it "

Our physical bodies are interwoven with our mental / emotional and spiritual bodies...each need to be maintained and honoured for the whole to function optimally.

I recently took time for a retreat in nature.
During this time , in beautiful natural surroundings, it gave me a chance to consider my own life as a garden , and to see what seeds I have been planting there.Were these seeds the ones that I wanted in my life- did any need nurturing and were any weeds sprouting?

Every so often it is good to just get away from the externals of life - no phone/ TV/ internet ....no junk food/ no alcohol ...no constant distractions...just time !
Its amazing how the body adjusts to nature- sleeping at 9pm and waking at 6pm ,just like the birds!
Also having time to just BE yourself !
Its was bliss and I am now back fully recharged with oil in my lamp !

Sending you my love and gratitude
